Wednesday on MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” host Chuck Todd defended CNN after they retracted a report on Russia and three staffers resigned.
Todd said the White House’s “war on the media” is a “war on the truth.”
Partial transcript as follows:
TODD Welcome back. Tonight—well, not just tonight—but I’m obsessed with the White House’s war on the press and on media. Let’s be clear about this, that war is nothing less than a war on the truth. Do we get it right all the time? Nope, we don’t. And when we don’t, we run a correction, and in some cases, people lose their jobs. That’s what just happened at CNN. CNN took responsibility for its mistakes. At this network, we’ve done it quite a few times publicly as well. But because we try to get it right. We take what we do seriously, because trust, viewers and readers’ trust is all we have, and without that we’re nothing. We all know we get fired for not telling the truth. And of course that’s the point, isn’t it? Of course, the White House attacks, delegitimizes the media to create running room for its version of events. It’s as old as media itself. The White House is not above using anonymous sources to criticize the use of anonymous sources. Nor to promote what it admits could be a lie to call others liars. Here’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders attacking CNN in an unbelievable way. Take a listen.

He's trying to act contrite when being attacked, but he was all down for the "let's get Trump and destroy him" campaign he and others in the propaganda media have been waging against Trump for months now.
Like Trump or not (I am a big fan), one thing he has done during his campaign and now in office, is to expose these weaselly, slimy snakes in the media for who they really are. Please forgive me if I'm not feeling sorry for them now that they are finally getting their just desserts.
When spoken, displayed online or printed about the “protected”, TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
For something to be at risk, one must first possess it.
Chuck Todd is lying again...
The only reason the 3 reporters at CNN lost their jobs was due to the AT&T and Time Warner merger. It was money in other words. It had ZERO to do with integrity.
The propaganda organs are circling the wagons.
Notice he says truth and not facts
Here’s your CNN “war on the Truth” you idiot.

When the entire media gets shown for the liars they are, shunning would be too good for them.
